if you are using an average electric to propel. And it depends on the size of the inflatable, how low it sits in the water, and whether it has a keel of any kind - the zodiacs for example have, generally, inflatable keels which help with this. But, if you are using a high thrust (say 55lb.) electric (of course this will use up your battery juice much faster when using the higher prop speeds) or a sufficient gas motor (even a 5hp or so) you will able to maneuver and get to where you want to go with not much problem. In terms of trying to anchor or hold a spot or slow troll in a stiff breeze it is not really much different than the average 12' tinner.
